This B-58A Hustler instrument panel is a non-standard panel that came from one of a group of 5 aircraft (59-2435 – 2439) with a slightly redesigned panel layout (refer to the illustration from T.O. 1B-58A-4-12), and was further modified after delivery. Many items are still needed to complete the panel (see images in gallery), so any leads to finding them would be greatly appreciated. The two missing nozzle position indicators have now been found, also the clock (which is being serviced at present), but all other holes in the panel still need to be filled, including the CREW CAPSULATED and EMER AIR SUPPLY light units (H-2499), the plastic light plate on left side of panel, and the following:
